Oh, and did I mention there was no camera behind Amherst net for good replay video, yet there was one behind Midd net.  Even the NCAA official on hand agreed if they are going to do VAR it needs to be equitable.  Alright, enough of the venting.  Be well, and go Conn.

Quote from: SKUD on December 06, 2024, 11:44:34 AMPN delay (vs continuation) was curious on that one. I felt the 2nd game crew was solid overall .

Head ref in Midd-Amherst game was weak from the start.  Let the Amherst boys have their way with physical play and Midd followed suit.  #32 kicks Mid goalie in the head when it was clearly possessed by keeper.  An automatic red but somehow he gives a yellow.  Fine, he does not want to make such a big decision with so much on the line.  Then he awards them a very weak pk.  I have watched the reply endless times.  there was no way there was sufficient conclusive evidence to award PK.  Such a shame it had to end that way and not in the run of play.  Honestly, he was very weak all around and should not be handling a semifinal game in national championships.  I dont think he will be handling key matches anytime soon.  at least I hope not.  Other than that it was a hard fought game by both side, just unfortunate it ended the way it did.

Babson-Midd.  Midd outplayed Babson much of the game but once again had hard time finishing, giving Babson key opportunities to score.  A few clutch saves from Waterman in net kept them in it.  Still trying to figure out why babson had their keeper lead off on the pens.  overall a great match and class from both sides.

Did you see Antic against Bowdoin.  Not  great goal.  But he has been solid this season

Quote from: camosfan on October 31, 2024, 08:35:34 AMTufts starting back four is the best this year and this is both as a unit and individually. Number 13 from Middlebury is the only defender up there with that group.

Dont sleep on Will O'Brien for Midd.  He is as solid as you get.

there was nothing of note postgame Midd-Babson.  Well played and generally clean game, unlike the Colby goalie throttling Gavin R which should have been a card (yellow/red) but not even a foul.  Pathetic reffing in that one.
